We love games, but we had never heard of Stomple. So, we busted it out last night and it is so much fun! It is a marble game that involves a lot of luck and a little strategy and everyone in our family enjoyed it. Even my 2 1/2 year old could participate as we told him carefully what to do.
A few reasons it is our favorite new game:
- you can play it with any amount of players from 2-6 and it is equally fun
- if you want to use strategy to win, you can, but sometimes luck is still the most important thing
- it doesn't take a large amount of skill, so all members of the family have a pretty fair shot at winning, but if you are playing with older kids who enjoy strategy, it's possible to make it more intense
- the rounds go quickly (we finished one round in about 7 minutes), but you can play for points to make it more complicated...sometimes it is nice to just have a game that only takes a few minutes to complete
- it isn't cards or dice, so it was great to mix things up
- kids can play it on their own without adult guidance
- and last but not least, my 2 year old has been obsessed with it, so we have used it all day to learn his colors!
So, if you are looking for a family Valentine's gift that helps your family think and gives them something to enjoy together, we loved Stomple!
Available at Toys R Us, Amazon and Barnes and Noble from $12.98-$19.99
